NowGamer: Front Mission Evolved Preview

Debuting in 1995 on the SNES, the main series is typically a tactical turn-based RPG that focuses on the political machinations of various nations in the 21st and 22nd Centuries. This being the future, the nations are less individual states and more amalgamations of geographically disparate but ideologically linked nations such as the Unified Colonial States (the consolidated Americas) and the European Commonwealth (a futuristic version of the current European Union), among others.

Evolved is the story of young engineer Dylan Ramsey, who is thrust into a brewing conflict between the blocs when an unknown threat destroys one of the UCS's orbital elevators, which are key to the ongoing space colonisation race.
